Chr,stmas...wha II Means and Implies.

Christmas. What II Means and Implies.
The day accepted as theanniversary
OF the birth OF Jesus Christ, the saw
our of mankind, is at hand, and the
above questions are pertinent to the
hour. Be IL remembered then as to
the first, that the especial mission OF
Jesus, according to the record, was TO
the poor, the humble, tho despised,
the outcast OF the human race. He
himselfappeared on earthin the guise
of one of the humblest Of mortals. He
was Graded in a manger beneath the
friendly eyes Of domestic animals,
who should be kindly considered for
his sake. He grew up to manhood
among the poor, working at his trade
of a carpenter And 30, when at
thirty years Of age be assumed his
Office and mission as teacher OF the
people, it was but natural that his
heart still continued to go out in
especial tender sympathy with the
class with which he had thus init
mately been associated. Among them
he chiefly found followers and disciples
from their ranks came nearly all his
apostles, and the martyrs to bis faith
through oil, the subsequent ages. It
is amazing to reflect on the fearful
perversions of genuine Christianity
which the world has Witnessed in the
shape of temporal and ecclesiastical
and despotisms, and still
sees.in the grand nominally Christian
church edifces of the present day,
distinguished mainly for the worldly
pride and show of their occupants,
where the poor have no place, and to
which, as has been strikingly but
truthfully said, Jesus himself,were he
to re-appear in the humble garb and
the meek and lowly style which dis
tinguished him while on earth, would
be denied admittance!
The answer to the second inquiry
contained in the title OF our article
therefore seems perfectly clear. If
we would be true followers OF Jesus,
and fifty celebrate his advent on
earth, we shall find our first duty in
acts of kindness towards the poor.
1t was no symbol of worldly power
or dominion which distinguished
him personally, but the divine spirit
of love which possessed him without
measure. 1t ia this which should
now above all inspire us to be mind
full of the poor and friendless, and
him that is "sick and in pris-
on" remembering not only the ex'
ample but the express promise of the
Master: "InaSmuch as ye haze done
it unto the least Of these my brethren,
ne haze done 1t unto me-"

ably appoint an American commission
TO meet the English one. The scheme
has been n pet idea Of the administra-
ton ever since the trouble began, and
the refusal OF the Senate to rati(y AN
arrangement providing for u reference
OF the dispute to II mixed commission
grieved Secretary Baynrd more Than a
nIiitake in engraving the invitations to
a state dinner. The President, of
course, cannot appoint representatives
with full powers, but he can constitute
n holy to investigate and consult. This
will be worth doing. 1t will be a good
thing to negotiate directly with princi
pals. Canada has ~prudently retired
behind Euglaud's skirts whenever an
attempt has been made to bring her to
account, and all complaints addressed to
England have been automatically re-
ferred to the Canadian Ministers.
